MAGA is a Cult of Personality, and there is no #2, no matter how much they wish it.
Most of Trump’s most devoted followers are not political people, they are just racist haters who saw their chance to indulge it with Trump. Another bunch are the delusional religious freaks who literally think he’s the Messiah.
People like that are not going to transfer their devotion to ANYONE else, they will simply opt out of the process, like they generally did before Trump. A few have been indoctrinated, and will remain, but all the fun was with Trump and his crazy comedy routine, so the wind will be out of their sails.
When Trump finally assumes room temperature, the knives are going to come out over there in MAGALand, and the Dems would be wise to just stay out of the way, maybe just a well-placed mumble “Are you going to just take that from him?” Let them tear each other apart, while the Dems lead America down a new path.
The MAGAs will eventually destroy themselves with their virtuosic incompetence, but taking advantage of that is going to take Democratic leadership, which is essentially non-existent right now.
